#cts mark

[uriayx]

Mark had known he was special for a while now. Strange occurrences around whenever he entered a room, people seemed to listen to him whenever he used that one voice…it was enough to make somebody utterly insane, to make somebody utterly paranoid. Was it some sort of prank? A sign? Mark didn’t know, and didn’t know if he wanted to.

Cesar was subject to similar things. People listening to him (albeit more often than Mark, as Cesar certainly had more charisma), feeling as if this was all some elaborate dream- but the only difference was Cesar reveled in it. He adored the attention, craved it even, to an extent.

Perhaps, that became his downfall, a downfall that would only continue rolling and rolling until the two awoke from this strange dream they found each other in.

“What the fuck do you want?!” Mark quiveringly yelled from the other side of his bedroom door, watching the black figure underneath the door walk and lift its feet up in the air that reeked of gunpowder and unwashed clothes, as if the mimic of a friend so dear to Mark was taunting him. He simply heard the accursed words repeated back to him like a broken record. Let me in. I have a gift. Let me in, let me in, let me in, in in. That’s all it ever said after these past 3 days- always let me in. Always that Mark could somehow trust…that…thing. He couldn’t bear it much longer. It made him want to go crazy, hearing a voice that was not Cesar’s.

It was Cesar no longer.

Mark didn’t know what it was.

The Alternate on the other side, of course, had every idea that Mark was thinking these things. It knew exactly what it was doing, and knew its duties enough to know it was doing it well. That’s what it was there for, of course- to torture. To rid the world of the man known as Mark Heathcliff, and kill him wearing the skin of the man once known as Cesar Torres, now known only as yet another Alternate, yet another statistic. This, however, did not stop Mark from being truly, utterly terrified.

“What the hell is it doing here?�� he couldn’t help but wonder to himself. Had God punished him, by staking an Alternate outside his home for 3 days now? What had he done wrong? “I can’t do this anymore,” he continued to think. He had a gun, after all- there had to be something he could do, right? Some miracle he could perform just to get this Alternate out of his house? His hand rested on the gunmetal of his pistol, which lay by his side. Perhaps, there was a solution after all…

“Let me in, Mark! I have a gift for you-you-you!” The Alternate continued to call, like a broken clock that would never cease talking and twittering- but Mark needed it to stop. He was going to go crazy if this…this thing that wore the skin of his best friend didn’t disappear soon. Mark’s hands gripped upon the door handle, which hid an absolute monstrosity behind it. He needed it gone, and he needed it gone fast. “YOU FUCKING BASTARD!” His efforts were futile. And so were Cesar’s. No matter how much that Alternate tried to devour Mark, he could not. He could not, he could not, he could not. He felt familiar wings on his back- false wings, of an angel that had long been replaced, betraying his own flesh and blood for the sake of the process. For the sake of taking the process.

SUCH WEAK MINDS.

@desiredprince asked: "Who are your favorite artists?"

There is a stickiness in the air that follows after rain and he's parked in the front of a closed 7-Eleven. Sheets of paper lie scattered over the dashboard. On one of them, a flaky clump of pipe tobacco, the smell of it mixing with petrichor and the smog of cheesesteaks billowing from a shop along the street. He has a song dialed down to six on the radio. "I Wanna Be Sedated". In his backseat, a buckled-in painting. 

Someone was supposed to meet him here somewhere along ten o'clock and take him to a trip to Neverland. They're a no-show, but he's found someone else. Cliff turns his head. 

"Very good question," he says, mellow as they come.

A man is here, hair honeyed and mysterious. His eyes are light as if they ate up every street lamp from here to Pasadena, and he'd arrived unannounced, both sudden and not. Cliff stops rolling his cigarette and looks past his windshield. A healed bite is on his neck.

"Joy Division, I want to say?" he ponders, words floaty and his wrists perched against the wheel. He goes back to rolling and continues, wistful. "Although I'm rather fond of Debussy."

He pronounced it Deh-boo-see. 

This man might have meant a painter or a sculptor, but it's too late. The song careens.

ooo, can you tell me about your tmc au? It looks really cool!

OOGOHOHOHOHOOHOH. YOU HAVE MADE A HORRID MISTAKE. <333333 there's a full rundown pinned on my blog if you want something more professional and in-depth (plus 4 out of 10 total character designs if you wanna draw em!!!) but here's a more basic rundown

so basically, I was playing TOTK when I made this and i got like- the sword from Skyward Sword????? and it reminded me of how Link and Zelda are cursed to be reborn over and over again to fight Ganon. In short, I took inspo from that idea and applied it to TMC- Cesar and Mark are passed-down reincarnations of gods, but they've been reincarnated so far down that they dismiss any sort of clue to them being gods as "just a coincidence." When Cesar and Mark die (with Cesar getting fused with Alt!Cesar), they are reincarnated as Adam and Jonah- Cesar -> Adam, Mark -> Jonah

Also, there's a fic also pinned!!! just fused the 1st and 2nd chapters bc i didnt like the flow lmao..........a few things of note btw is that jonah is she/he, mark and adam are trans guys, and Alt and Cesar live in the same body but aren't the same person, as they both occupy Adam

also Gabriel plays a part with Thatcher, Adam has a little sister named Mary, and Evelyn and Adam are still dating (though I plan on making it very background) (and also the oc bitch in my pfp is there bc i ran out of characters. their name is sketchka)

read the fic if you want im sosososoos glad you're interested in it <333333

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (Penguin Classics) A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (Penguin Classics) Paperback – February 28, 1972 by Mark Twain (Author),‎ Justin Kaplan (Introduction) --Book Condition: USED/RARE in very good condition in spite of age (beige pages). Light wear (Scratch/fold mark) When Connecticut mechanic and foreman Hank Morgan is knocked unconscious, he wakes not to the familiar scenes of nineteenth-century America but to the bewildering sights and sounds of sixth-century Camelot. Although confused at first and quickly imprisoned, he soon realises that his knowledge of the future can transform his fate. Correctly predicting a solar eclipse from inside his prison cell, Morgan terrifies the people of England into releasing him and swiftly establishes himself as the most powerful magician in the land, stronger than Merlin and greatly admired by Arthur himself. But the Connecticut Yankee wishes for more than simply a place at the Round Table. Soon, he begins a far greater struggle Editorial Reviews From School Library Journal Gr 5 Up-While Mark Twain is most often identified with his childhood home on the Mississippi, he wrote many of his enduring classics during the years he lived in Hartford, Connecticut. He had come a long way from Hannibal when he focused his irreverent humor on medieval tales, and wrote A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. The hit on the head that sent protagonist Hank Morgan back through 13 centuries did not affect his natural resourcefulness. Using his knowledge of an upcoming eclipse, Hank escapes a death sentence, and secures an important position at court. Gradually, he introduces 19th century technology so the clever Morgan soon has an easy life. That does not stop him from making disparaging, tongue-in-cheek remarks about the inequalities and imperfections of life in Camelot. Twain weaves many of the well-known Arthurian characters into his story, and he includes a pitched battle between Morgan's men and the nobility. Kenneth Jay's narration is a mix of good-natured bonhomie for Hank and more formal diction for the arcane Olde English speakers. Appropriate music is used throughout to indicate story breaks and add authenticity to scenes. This good quality recording is enhanced by useful liner notes and an attractive case. Younger listeners may need explanations of less familiar words, and some knowledge of the Knights of the Round Table will be helpful. Libraries completing an audiobook collection of Twain titles will enjoy this nice, but not necessary, abridgement. Barbara Wysocki, Cora J.

i know we need to guard ourselves against parasocial relationships and we definitely shouldn’t treat public figures/public servants like heroes because that’s a good way to be disappointed when they turn out to be human

that said. i fucking love mark bankston. every time this man opens his mouth i’m sitting here like taraji like you’re doing amazing sweetie<3
